3.0

I really enjoy thick family dramas, and on that front, this book didn’t disappoint. The characters were very interesting and I think Harris wrote a great story about a lesser-known topic. That being said, I think I would have liked it a little more if the characters felt more complex. Their motivations all seemed very one-dimensional and I would have liked to more about their inner thoughts and motivations. Also, it is a very heavy read, which isn’t a bad thing, necessarily, just something to be aware of going into it. I do recommend this book though, as it is a good and important story.
